Multiroom Operation
4. If the FIXED option has been chosen,
use the ‹ or › buttons i to enter the
desired volume level for the multiroom
output, as indicated by the numbers in
the highlighted video box. When the
VARIABLE option is chosen, this is the
volume setting that
will be used when the multiroom system
is first activated. In either case, set the
level as close to “0dB” as possible without
causing distortion in the output signal.
When the desired number has been
entered, press the ¤ button and then
Select to return to the main menu.
5. Press the
⁄
button i once so that
the on-screen cursor is pointing to
MULTI ROOM SEL and press Select
j. This will take you to the MULTI
ROOM SELECTOR menu.
6. At the MULTI ROOM SELECTOR
menu (see figure #18) use the ‹ or ›
buttons to select the input to the multi-
room system when the FIXED option is
selected. When the desired source is high-
lighted in reverse video, press the ¤ but-
ton twice and then press Select j to
return to the main menu. You may then
exit the menu system or adjust other
functions.
Operation
Multiroom operation is simple, and
it may be controlled from either the
main listening room where the AVR85 is
located, or from a remote room where an
IR receiver has been installed.
Main Room Control
To activate the feed to the remote room
from the room where the AVR85 is locat-
ed, press the Multi button #h on the
front panel or remote.
If the VARIABLE option was selected in
SETUP MENU 4, the Multi indicator
D will flash, indicating that Source Link
is in effect. This means that any change
to the AVR85 input in the main room will
also change the input to the remote zone
audio output. If the FIXED option was
selected, the Multi indicator will illumi-
nate in a steady state and the input to the
remote room will be the source selected
in the MULTI ROOM SELECTOR
menu.
Once the remote room feed is turned on,
it will remain on even if the AVR85 is
turned off for main room listening and
the front panel indicators go dark. The
Multi indicator will remain lit to remind
you that the feed is still active. To turn the
remote feed off, simply press the Multi
button #h. An on-screen message will
appear (see figure #19) to remind you
that people may be listening in another
room. Press the Multi button a second
time to turn the remote feed off, or press
the Clear button x to cancel the
menu and leave the remote room feed
on. Note that in some sources there may
be no code programmed into the Clear
button, so the menu will disappear from
the screen automatically in about ten
seconds.
